[RL with Sherry and Naoto] [Backdated to Claire's last post]

Early in the evening, just past the supper hour, the Flying Pussyfoot chugged into the station in Salt Lake City, hissing steam. The first class cars at the front of the train were almost ridiculously ornate, gilded in gold over glossy black paint, the odd name of the train embossed on the side in gold lettering

Sherry stared at the train with a fair share of amazement. She couldn't remember the last time she'd been on a train, and it probably hadn't been one as nice as this.

"This is definitely the place, so Claire should be... right over there!" After spotting Claire, she waved at the conductor before making a beeline in that direction. Naoto could catch up.

Naoto had just finished purchasing her ticket when Sherry hurried off toward the platform where the Flying Pussyfoot awaited.

"H-Hey! Wait just a moment--!" Naoto snatched the ticket from the vendor's hand and ran after the little girl. It wouldn't do for Birkin's daughter to get lost in the crowd before they'd even made it on board.

Claire spotted Sherry and beamed, trotting in her direction and lifting his hand in a wave. In his cream-coloured uniform and hat with the word 'conductor' embossed on the front, he looked fresh-faced and very young. In fact, no one looking at him would have ever thought he was an assassin. The picture was definitely one of complete and utter harmlessness.

"Hi Sherry," he said cheerfully, dodging a family lugging their bags towards the train and skidding to a stop next to her. "I'm glad you came! Oh, and there's your friend, too." He waved to Naoto as well, offering her a smile that was only slightly less incandescent.

"Hi Claire!" From her expression, it was hard to tell what had caused this whole trip in the first place. Sure, he was scary - but only in the dark when her mind got away from her. Right now, she was sure she was safe.

"Naoto and I don't know each other very well," she admitted. "I'm not sure why she wanted to stay."
